Hello Friends!

Would you believe me if I told you that with all the pictures I took here yesterday, that I had only scratched the surface of what is in Wendy's store? Everything is displayed with love and attention, and I don't know how she bears to let anything be sold. I told her that would be the hardest part of working there for me. I would probably keep saying, wait a minute ... I think I want to keep that!

I hope that you guys all enjoyed this field trip. Just give Wendy a call or email her if you see something you like and have questions about.

Hi LV,Oh, me too! I was on a mission with my camera, so I didn't spend too much time "shopping". Since I was capturing the images, I decided to go home and look things over and go back there when I have some money to spend. It was interesting to see some of the similar things I have a home, and see how much they were going for in the store.

Hi Kathy!Thanks so much for telling me where Bend is in relationship to Parkdale! I still have some family in Portland, keep thinking I'll make it up there some day again but time has a way of moving along, doesn't it?! What a wonderful shop - I am drooling over all the doggies, I want to start a doggie collection. :)

Hi Ann,Fire engine/fighter stuff would be a fun collection to have. I know what you meant about the cameras. I turned that corner and stopped short, saying OH!! This digital stuff is so easy, but think of what they went through in the old days to get great pics.

Hi Coloradolady,I wish that you were there too! I'm happy that you enjoyed looking at everything. Did you see the other two posts about it? Thanks for hostessing VTT and letting me participate.

Hi Deborah Kay,You got that right. I was there for about an hour and knew I was missing so much. It is a great shop. Thanks so much for stopping by to say hi.

I have entered all of you into my CSN drawing for leaving a comment. It will be held on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I know, there is so much to see ... I broke it into 3 posts and I hope that you got to see them all. I could have spent all day in that store and not found everything though.
